1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'd look for a 4runner, rip out the auto and part out the rest to pay for it lol

 

this is the best thread to peruse for the auto to manual swap on a 1st gen

Looks like a Kia


But I like the color scheme

 

I wonder how many CVs I'd break if I switched to steel beadlocks. That's a lot of extra rotational mass lol.

Not a lot of wheel options that will work for me without spacers or actually getting an aftermarket UCA and aligning the truck lol

 

Just delete the axles and diff


Can't be a problem if they aren't there

 

Do you dill have the stock CVs?

 

Just run spacers, I've been about that spacer life for forever.

 

Are all A340Fs the same?

 

I'm already running spacers. I just don't want to drop $1k plus on wheels that still require spacers lol

It's a lil easier to accept spacers on a set of wheels that I paid $100 for

 

yep

 

No, some will have RZ bellhousings and 03-04 have electronic line pressure control so you can't use them without a valve body swap to the older style

 

I’ve heard some good things about the NAPA extended travel CVs.

j/k if I remember right, this guys lugs failed or something

 

So I'm assuming the 3rd gen 4Runner versions are the 03-04 versions or no?

 

Not all of them. They follow the same timeline except I think that starting around 2002 they also use the electronic control.

 

Ok, interesting. 02 would have been the last year for the 3rd gen

 

I've been curious about em. I have 2 OEM spares that both need a reboot or joint rebuild and I kind of don't wanna do the labor on that

 

torque to 80 and use red lock tite. No problems in 5 years. They've outlived CVs and rear axle shafts lol

 

Mint

 

Have had the same preacher come to my door 2 days in a row now. They really want to talk to me lol

why wouldn't I go to heaven? I'm an angel
